If you were not near a TV or news feed today, then you missed out on some of the greatest games we have seen all season. When it is Rivalry Week, you can just throw out the records and expect both teams to bring it. So many exciting finishes, and I think we just might have a Heisman winner …
I was starting to get worried about too many undefeated teams finishing perfect. Thanks to Stanford we had Oregon drop from the list of unbeaten. We still have Ohio State and Northern Illinois unbeaten thanks to their bye week coming at a convenient time . . . but do those teams really matter right now? Alabama keeps doing what …
Kevin Cline “Oregon only wins because of its offense.” Everyone knows that, even though it’s not true. In fact, it is so deeply ingrained in everyone’s mind, that outside of the state, people rarely even bother to consider the Ducks’ D. Regardless of how this season finishes, the 2013 college football campaign has a clear-cut top tier consisting of Alabama, …
Kevin Cline Half of the nation’s top-10 teams were idle this weekend, but Florida State made sure the BCS standings stayed in flux with their convincing win over undefeated Miami. It was an exciting calm before this week’s highly-anticipated storm of elite match-ups. Alabama remained in the top spot at No. 1 for the third edition of this seasons rankings, but the …
We had the usual big teams win today but a few upsets, as well, to make it another good Saturday of college football. There is nothing new from the top four teams — I think they are headed into a four-way tie at this point, but each of these teams are looking to win big. I feel sorry for whoever Alabama, …
from video In 2012, I had the honor of watching the football season with about 50 US Military Veterans. As the calendar flipped from August to September, the ratio of fans in that little group was about ten-to-one in favor of NFL ball over college. These were simply not college football fans, and to them, college was just not as much fun to watch as the more polished NFL. By the …
Craig Strobeck The first official BCS standings for 2013 have arrived, and with no surprise, the undefeated and reigning national champion Alabama Crimson Tide is at No. 1. However, the rest of the field saw significant change, as upsets and the notorious BCS computer calculations once again took over the world of college football. Florida State nudged out Oregon for the …
This could be the best Saturday we have had in college football this season. The upset bug was at work all around the country. We are really starting to see who are the contenders (Alabama, Oregon, FSU) and the pretenders (Clemson, Georgia, LSU). Team stocks are rising for the contenders and falling for the others. We had teams in …
from Video Upsets shook the landscape of the BCS conversation this weekend with seven ranked teams losing on Saturday, four of them coming against unranked opponents. The initial BCS rankings will be released this Sunday, and the top tier of teams has seemed to pull away from the rest of the field, but if there is anything to be learned …
I was starting to get worried that too many teams would finish the season undefeated, until today. As the season goes on we are finally getting to see the upsets. Upsets are what we live for in college football, as long as our team isn’t on the wrong end of the stick. Watching the impossible become possible is what …
“When Offenses Attack” was the theme of the day. It seems that as the season goes on we are seeing more and more teams put up massive numbers of yardage and points. You have Baylor and Oregon averaging more than 50 points a game, easy. Clemson and FSU just dominate whoever lines up in front of them. Ohio State and Texas …
Kevin Cine Week 5 of college football is over. No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon are still clearly the top two teams in the country, while the remainder of the top five held their spots for the third consecutive week. The Ducks are closing in on Bama’s endeavor for supremacy, however, and with that, the teams left on the schedule become increasingly important to …
